Lyrics -
It’s 10 am central, you must still be in bed
Wrapped in the arms of the one that you love
But do these arms that now hold you feel as good as mine did
Is it all that you’ve been dreaming of
Now I dare not pretend
There’s a love with no end
Everything that is born has to die
But I should have told you before
That I was hoping for more
Than a French kiss and an Irish goodbye
I’ve always been an old soul, my grip has always been loose
But I no longer say it with pride
Now that my body’s catching up and the years tighten that noose
And I cover less ground in my stride
Chance brought us together
Life pulled us apart
Time it mocks us as it passes us by
Maybe love’s the defender
Of all broken hearts
But all I got was a French kiss and an Irish goodbye
It’s as hard to remember as it is to forget
Bad news always come as a surprise
All the times I surrendered, all the things I regret
French kisses and Irish goodbyes
It’s not beyond reason, but it’s hard to admit
That it was nobody’s fault but my own
I’ve been scratching the wall, trying to make it out of this pit
I cut my fingers right down to the bone
Well it ain’t hard to tell
That we’ve both been through hell
All it takes is one look in our eyes
But you got away
And I’m left here to stay
With French kisses and Irish goodbyes
